Calvin Earl, (January 16, 1952), is a performing artist, musician, storyteller and documentary film maker specializing in the history of African American Spirituals.
His passion for the preservation of the spirituals led him to lobby for the introduction of twin resolutions (H.
Res.
120 and S.
Res 69) in the United States Congress in 2007, to honor American slaves for their contribution to the American nation and recognize the African American Spiritual as a National Treasure.
He is referred to in the legislation as a “noted performer & educator of the African American Spirituals".
Because of his successful efforts in the passage of the legislation, Earl became affectionately known as the "Ambassador of the African American Spirituals".
He has recorded two albums of spirituals(for Back to Basics Records), including Gratitude which is sold at American historical sites including Monticello, Mount Vernon, Jamestown, and the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site in Plains, Georgia.
